“It's about the girlfriend who left me last year. I tried to put all my anger in those words, even though I'm just as much to blame for the break-up. 'Soma' is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security. Very deceivable.” GivingYearsIdeasLastsLeftSleepBreakSecurityIllusionBlameGirlfriendLast YearLove RelationshipOpiumSoma Author:Billy Corgan

“The spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest, so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul. In many families, there are hurt feelings and a reluctance to forgive. It doesn’t really matter what the issue was. It cannot and should not be left to injure. Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals. George Herbert, an early 17th-century poet, wrote these lines: ‘He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven, for everyone has need of forgiveness.’” IfsNeedsGivingShouldMaySoulMatterFeelingsSpiritLeftStrongHeavenHurtLinesBreakIssuesCenturyPoetBlameForgivingWoundsHealLiftsBridgesHurt FeelingsReluctance17th CenturyBuoyancy Author:Thomas S.

“As we grow up we learn that even the person that wasnt supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it gets harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and youll eventually lose someone you love, so take many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you'll never get back.” HeartPersonsRememberFightingGrowsFeltLosesHurtBreakLaughingGrowing UpToo MuchMinutesCryLike YouBrokenAnd LoveHarderBlamePassingPassingsUpsetGet BackSecondsSixtyBridesHeart BreakYour Best FriendOne MinuteOne You LoveSomeone You LoveHeart BrokeBeen HurtBvbBlack Veil Brides Author:Andy Biersack
